Want Novelty? Visit the 15th Annual Gaming and Token Convention in Vegas

The Riviera is playing host to the 15th Annual Gaming and Token Convention, where the clay chips "of old" are on sale and on display for those wishing to grab a piece of history.

Things such as a "Bugsy", which would be a chip that would have been used during Bugsy Siegel's heyday in the 40s are hot. Collectors have noted, "you never know who has touched a chip". As expected, old chips from casinos that were from the old days or not in existence are worth the most: Flamingo, El rancho, Frontier, Riviera, Sands, Dunes, etc.

Think it's just a "novelty" though? Check this out--last year a chip that was used at the Sahara during the 1950s went for---wait for it--70,000.

Makes you think that holding on to that chip instead of gambling it may be the better bet in the long run, eh?
